Our family remembers the Agruso family as great neighbors while living across the street in Sacramento, Calif. in the 50's. Pete corresponded with my sister Susan every Christmas until just a few years ago. She always shared his cards because they were so newsy, interesting, and caring. We had heard about Irene's passing but was surprised to hear about Carol. We are so sorry for your loss...
